December 10, 2023,2. Advent in Baden

Walk along the Limmat, which is flooding after the night's heavy rain.

The actual destination, the historical museum of Baden, is adjusted due to hunger. My legs carry me to Burger King. In contrast to the stomach, the head remains empty. 😉

A short walk along the Limmat and in the old town of Baden. It's hot and the summer flu is raging. Unfortunately, it's the same with me. So we're going at a leisurely pace. All the cafes in the old town are full and we let ourselves drift along the Limmat towards Windisch.

September 30, 2023,Baden I Aargau - an der Limmat

After my move, I inspected the paths along the Limmat today: the Romans loved it here and romped around in the springs and thermal baths of Aqua Helvetecae. That was what Baden was called back then.

December 14, 2023,Baden - und täglich grüßt das 🦫 Bibertier

The trails next to the Limmat are closed due to flooding.
A beaver left nibble marks on a young beech tree. Almost there. A few more bites and it tips over.
Remains of Roman baths were uncovered during renovations to an old hotel. You can discover something new every day 🦫

Hm. According to Komoot, I crept through Baden in sharp straight lines. The app somehow got stubborn:

Around midday I set off towards Baden, into the city center. The sun is shining at minus 1 degree. I stroll a bit along the Limmat and arrive in the pedestrian passage. The red "sale" signs are everywhere.
